nope WIS spent,
knew that ere the night would close,
The South would fall before her foes,
And she has fallen now, she knows;
When first this bitter war began,
My very blood more swiftly ran,
My spirit reused longed TO fight
For home, and for my country's right,
But now, o Helen, sharp remorse
Doth sting me for my hasty course;
o God, have we, within thy sight,
Been in the wrong or in the right?"
Then Helen answered: Il, like thee,
Was stirred with thought Of Liberty,
Aud on the Southern cause, felt
That right and justice surely dwell,
And with such thoughts, urged thee on,
And when TO battle thou vert gone,
daily prayed success would come
To the defender of my home;
Thus was /, but 1t was not long,
Ere began to see our wrong;
o blighting War, black anger's son,
What crimes by thy fell hand are done!
Where thou dost go, destruction goes,
And meath thy foot, in anguished throes,
The country groans, and deadly foes,
Brothers are now become; the land
Is lettering meath the bloodstained hand;
What maidens mourn, what mothers weep
For those who sleep the endless sleep,
BY thee, thou ruthless demon, SLAIN
On the accused battle plain;
tiend accused, that dost show
To each epraged and hating foe,
pleasing face, that bright doth glow
With justice treacherously feigned,
Where is A very hell contained?"
"But why, when now it is too late,
Mourn for our country's wretched fate?
IT'S useless all, our tears to shed
For what has now forever fed
The past is past; in future yet,
We may the present storms forget,
And in that distant time twill seem
That this was all an awful dream,
Thy broad plantation ruined lies.
Tby stately mansion now supplies
A shelter to the hooting owl,
While round it, armed battalions prowl,
And meath its ruined walls, in vain
Seek shelter from the beating rain;
Thou now hast nothing, only me,
And Robert. 1 have naught but thee;
Together we will toll, while peace
Broods DER the land, and doth increase

Humbugging the Farmers.
From the Port Tobacco Times.

From the Port tobacco Times.
When the organization of the "Farmers
Convention" was put in operation two years
age, the Times earnestly CO. operated in the
movement, thinking, as all honest farmers
thought at the time, that it was set on foot
with sincere purpose of promoting agricul-
ture and advancing the interests of the farmer.
The utter failure of the previous convention
to accomplish anything in that direction
raised doubts of its efficiency in that respect;
an now, at the last meeting, the political
wolf, who had thus assumed the innocent
garb of the sheep to draw the farmers to him
colors. 1t was political movement of the
'outs" against the ''ins'' after all.
